If you’ve lived in Western North Carolina for more than a hot minute, you know how wild the vines can get out here. One minute, you’re admiring the view from your porch; the next, you’re watching kudzu swallow your fence like it’s a snack. Wisteria? Pretty in bloom, sure—but that stuff will strangle a tree if you blink too long.

Homeowners from Asheville to Weaverville, Mars Hill to Marshall, Hendersonville to Waynesville, are facing a common problem: invasive vines and brush that don’t take “no thanks” for an answer. That’s where land clearing comes in—and no one knows the local terrain and tangle like Mountain Folk Land Clearing out of Weaverville.
We specialize in wrangling the wild stuff, whether it’s kudzu creeping over your retaining wall, wisteria twisting up your trees, or some other aggressive plant trying to turn your property into its personal jungle gym.
Why Should You Care About Invasive Vines Like Kudzu and Wisteria?
Here’s the deal—these aren’t just a cosmetic problem. Sure, they look messy, but the impact goes deeper. These plants are relentless and damaging. They’ll:
Smother native trees and plants
Destabilize slopes and increase erosion
Attract pests and critters you didn’t exactly invite
Lower your property value
Make future landscaping projects way harder (and more expensive)
Letting them go unchecked can lead to big headaches down the road—like tree death, landslides (yep, that happens), and extra costs when you finally do decide to clear things out.
The Perks of Clearing Out Kudzu, Wisteria & Other Wild Vines
When you bring in a land clearing team like ours, you’re not just tidying up. You’re reclaiming your property, protecting your investment, and setting yourself up for better use of your land.
Here’s what you gain:
✅ Improved Curb Appeal – Your place looks cleaner, tidier, and way more inviting
✅ Healthier Native Ecosystems – Clearing invasives gives native plants a chance to breathe and thrive
✅ Better Use of Space – Want to plant a garden, build a deck, or just enjoy your yard? Gotta clear first
✅ Long-Term Property Protection – Avoid damage to trees, soil, and structures
✅ Fewer Pests – Dense vines = cozy homes for snakes, ticks, and rodents
✅ Fire Risk Reduction – Especially in dry months, dense brush is a fire hazard
What to Expect When You Hire a Land Clearing Company (Like Mountain Folk 👋)
Let’s talk real talk—clearing land isn’t a DIY weed-whack job. It takes knowledge, the right equipment, and a plan that fits your goals.
Here’s how it usually goes down:
Site Visit & Assessment – We check out the area, ID the problem plants, and talk through what you want
Custom Clearing Plan – We build a strategy that works with your land, budget, and timeline
Selective Clearing – We can take out the bad stuff while keeping the good (like hardwoods or native flowering trees)
Root Removal or Management – Especially for kudzu, we address the underground network so it doesn’t pop right back up
Cleanup & Haul-Off – We don’t leave a mess—everything gets hauled out or mulched on-site
You don’t just get a cleared yard. You get peace of mind, and a whole lot more usable space.
